PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Description
D-Galactose, a key monosaccharide, is pivotal as an energy source and in glycosylation processes. It is the C-4 epimer of glucose, commonly used in culture media for carbon provision. Integral to lactose, a disaccharide, D-Galactose is released through the action of β-galactosidase enzymes. It can be transformed into glucose by the Leloir pathway or processed through alternative metabolic routes such as the DeLey-Doudoroff pathway, highlighting its versatility in biochemical reactions.
